During Term 2, students will undertake an adaption study where they will learn about the history of storytelling and how stories have changed through the ages. The major focus of the unit will be on the legend of Robin Hood and as a part of this students will be reading Michael Morpurgo's adaptation, Outlaw.

Students will identify and analyse how this adaption portrays the legendary tale. As an introduction to the unit we have looked at the differences between legends, myths, fables and fairy tales. Do you know the difference? If not, ask your children, I’m sure they’ll be happy to explain how each of these genres of stories varies.
